This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.
Show PostThe thing is, I'm not even, all that intrinsically troubled by the existence of very rich individuals. I don't like or trust them, but in the abstract, eh, whatever, just tax them like everyone else. But there is a HIERARCHY. And they are pulling rank. They need to BE TAUGHT THEIR PLACE.
Show PostThey are not merely competitors for resources at this point, they are treading on powers that we the people have reserved for ourselves, and making themselves our enemy. They think this privilege belongs to them because them greased the right flabby palms. That is NOT how this works.
Show PostThey think they get decide what I see, what I think? They get to decide how big the government is? How it works? Who it helps? They get to decide WHICH MILITARY ALLIES OF THE US GET OUR HELP???
Show PostThe abstract existence of rich people is frustrating but you know what is more frustrating? The idea that they control me and my country, because they're rich. No they don't. That's not something I agreed to. The arrogance of believing they do is unforgivable and must be penalized, harshly.
